TANTRA

  
Tantra is a path to inner worlds in which we leave the ordinary physical world far behind -- where, though the experience of uninhibited ecstasy, we realize/find ourselves and our relationship to the universe/God. It utilizes sex as a form of spiritual initiation and is the only surviving spiritual "discipline" which accepts sex literally and completely, without reservation, including homosexual sex. . . .

In tantric sex, we are not concerned with the type of psychological sexual orientation, or the form of physical sexual practice an individual may prefer -- but with the spiritual and physical principles involved in achieving the tantric "existential" orgasm, which is the same state students of yoga know as Samadhi -- fusion with the absolute. We must also "deal" with the physical and spiritual "realities" we find in a specific individual -- and take advantage of them as best we can to promote/achieve this experience for him. 

In ordinary/carnal practice, people often become "polarized" by their own personal experiences and psychology and "gravitate" or "lean" toward one or another form of sex to the exclusion of others. Difficulty results from artificial distinctions placed on otherwise omnisexual humans. To "label" individuals as either distinctly "heterosexual" or "homosexual" -- or "anal" or "oral" -- allows for no "versatile" people between the two poles/extremes. In reality, there is only sex/orgasm  . . . which can take many forms . . . 

When we study the subject objectively, from the point of view of physical anatomy, we find only three points on the male physical body which can produce a physical orgasm all by themselves. The underside of the head of the penis is the most obvious of these three sexually-sensitive parts of the physical body. Another member of this purely physical trinity is the prostate gland, and it is commonly known that medical prostate massage, as it is practiced by doctors, naturally brings a man to orgasm all by itself, even in the sterile and often homophobic environment of the doctor’s office. The third and most misunderstood/secret/mysterious member of this trinity is the sphincter muscle. When properly stretched/opened, it also causes physical orgasm without any other kind of sexual stimulation . . . .

The metaphysical literature on the chakra system is a visual metaphor to describe and depict how this energy flows and what it influences in the different "parts" or "centers" of our physical/etheric/astral/spiritual being. This energy is the kundalini/chi/prana of tantric and Eastern mythologies. it’s the only energy which exists in everything. It is the unity/"God" of the entire universe -- it is the entire universe.
                 
This energy flow enters the body from the earth (our Earth Mother) at the first/basal/Muladhara chakra, where the kundalini serpent (the anal sphincter muscle(s) of the physical body) sleeps coiled 3 1/2 times around a bed of glowing embers (the perineum/prostate gland), in a cavern (the lower bowel/anus) at the base of Mt. Muru (the spine), the axis of both personal and universal creation. From this chakra, that small portion of the energy/kundalini which has been "awakened" flows upward to animate/awaken the six chakras above it, leaving the body at the top of the head through the Sahasrara chakra, the thousand-petaled Lotus of BLISS OF THE BEYOND. In most people today, this energy does not rise much above the third chakra.
           
This prevailing metaphor of the chakra system depicts the natural order and "flow" that applies to males only. For females, the energy flow is reversed. Females are channels/conduits for the universal energy to enter the earth; males are channels/conduits for the energy to return to the cosmos . . . in a circular flow/circuit like that of electricity.

With this metaphor/picture/concept/principle in mind we can deduce which sexual positions are best suited for the tantric "existential" experience. for heterosexual coupling, the "missionary position" of intercourse is ideal; the couple are like bar magnets which attract and "cling" to each other with their poles reversed. The energy enters the head of the woman, flows to her vagina, then into the penis of the male and out again through the top of his head, and life is created. If they are also joined in a kiss, the energy which flows from the earth into the man’s rectum/muladhara to his mouth then crosses over to her mouth, down to her vagina, into his penis . . . and an enclosed flow is created adding the energy from the earth into the circuit, amplifying and returning the combined energy to each partner in an endless circular flow. Notice that, even in heterosexual coupling, oral contact is necessary to "complete" the "circuit," introduce earth-energy, "amplify" the combined flow, and create the circular "flow." In men, whose polarities are the same, the poles must be "reversed" to make a complementary circuit. The oral "69" position is ideal for this kind of circuit even though it involves the penis only while ignoring the sphincter and prostate. This circuit could be vastly strengthened/amplified if each partner would simply contact the prostate and sphincter of the other with his finger(s) . . . just as anal intercourse/fisting/etc. can also be improved by adding simultaneous oral-penile stimulation/circuitry to the "bottom."

The universal position that is quite naturally assumed when an active oral person gives a passive/receptive person a "blow job," and makes simultaneous manual contact with the passive person’s anus -- or when a fisting Top also makes oral-penile contact with his Bottom -- is ideal for the homosexual tantric experience. In both cases the two people are more-or-less end-to-end, like two bar magnets joined in the same polarity, "clinging" to each other as one unit.

Circuitry-wise, the sexual partners actually become one entity -- with the earth-energy entering the "active"/sucking/fisting partner through his anus, leaving through his hand and/or mouth into the anus and/or penis of the "passive" partner -- then out through the head of the passive partner into the cosmos. The double connection created by employing both the mouth and the fingers/hand more than doubles the flow of energy. For the fisting Top who does not like to suck, a similar but weaker parallel circuit can be established by using his free hand on the penis of his Bottom, but oral contact is stronger because the energy transfer is made higher up on his chakra stem. for an oral person who has an anal aversion, similar but weaker circuitry can be established by simply placing the palm of one hand over his passive partner’s rectum and perineum, but then there is no possibility for actually "reading" and/or physically stimulating the prostate/sphincter of the passive partner. . . .

Few tantric principles/influences are absolute in-and-of-themselves. No absolute/universal rules or suggestions can be given about them. they may either augment/amplify or contradict/nullify each other, depending on how we combine and/or apply them. In addition, the unique "configuration" of our own individual psychology may either complement or contradict some or all of the objective principles. If this were not so, then everything would apply to every individual alike and there would be no need for the help of a personal "initiation" or a "guru." This means that we can never depend upon books or any other "rote" or "recipe," written for the "masses," to achieve our purposes. Everything ultimately depends on who and what we are within our SELVES . . . which is the reason for the prime metaphysical directive, carved over the entrance to the ancient Greek temple at Delphi: "Man, first know thou thyself."
